Time to sleep

Good afternoon all
squid here

so we have all had thoes sleepless nights right?

i can remember as a child not being able to sleep before christmas, and my birthday because i was so excited. I was excited for the presents, for the joy, for spending time with people and all that fun stuff that comes along with celibration! Am i right, i mean it still happens to the best of us.

I can remember the night before i went on my frist open water dive in the summer of july of 1997.... I was 16, i was young, i was so excited, i had been training for this moment for so long, and the next day i was going to the ocean, the real, ocean to go see where the fish live. to see what was under that green water of the north atlantic. to see what the ghlouster fisherman and lobstermen take from the bottom.

I was going to swim with the fishes. haha
good old family quote!

then there are times you cant sleep for other reasons, and the worst is worry. and we all have been there too
worried about a friend or family member, even a pet
worried about a test
worried about something

but now tonight before i lay my head to rest i know I am not going to be able to sleep again
and it is not becuase i am exctied
it is because i am worried

tomorrow i am going to go see a doctor and they are going to look over my knee
they are going to tell me if i can go back to work
or if i cant
they are going to tell me if i can dive
ride,
climb
do anything i like to do ever again

or how much of it i can do

this is stress
this is what i worry about
i know i might be taking this too seriously
or i might be worring to much

the swelling in my knee has gone down
and i can move it a bit
but not more than 90 degrees, and not more than 50 with out pain
maybe even 30 degrees

whats the worst that can happen
out of work longer
surgery on my knee
cant do thiings like i use to
watch my knee for the rest of my life!

play with fire you eventualy will get burnt right

i have taken falls on my bike
and i have hurt my self diving
and at my age never broken a bone!
i guess that made me feel like i was stronger than i thought
and i prooved my self wrong!
so here it is
im worried
about tomorrow

hope you sleep better than i do

No News is Just As Bad

good after noon all

squid here

well here is the update, ive been of for a while i guess
not to long

but here is my situation,
i went skiing on feb 14th cuz it was a day off and i had no valintine to spend it with
i know boo hoo right

well skiing was great for the frist 6 or 8 runs, it was a beautiful day, noone was on the slopes, i was carving it up really nice on the blue trails. i could count the runs on the trails, and most where mine from the run before

the last run i was cooken, i was going a little fast and i hit a lip that put me off balence, and then i hit a second lip that took me out
i fell on my side and sated to spin, then all i saw was a rush of red and i was on my back stopped

when i gatherd my self, i realized that my left knee and hip where killing me
pain shot up my leg like i have never felt it, then i noticed i was in the woods

i sat up and looked down, my skis where not on me and not in sight then i looked to my left
the rush of red was a mesh fence that i took out
i took 20 feet of fence out and took down 5 or 6 polls that where holding it up out as well
my ski goggles and my hat where off
my back pack was half off

i was looken around sitten still when i hear

"you ok"
and i repplied "um........ my knee hurts"

some one noticed i was in the woods,
i was skien alone so there i was in the woods and luckly some one saw me,
he told me i was lucky and that he found one ski
down 20 feet from me
i found the other 20 feet above me stuck in the fence
with a pole

when i finally tried to get up other people started to pass and stop
one noticed the cuts on my fore head and asked if i was ok
then they called ski patrole

they told me to sit down after they noticed how bad i was limping to get my skis
thats when i figured i was getting a ride down on a sled
nothing felt broken or out of place

then i was looken over my gear,
i broke a ski and bent a pole
the skis rear tip seporated and i dont knwo how that happened
and i think i bent a pole on one of the posts i hit

sitting down the ski patole came over
and asked if i knocked my self out
and i said no
now that i look back i dont think i did but i really dont knwo
i could have

anyways
i got a ride down
on a sled
looked at my knee and by then it started to swell
then i drove my self to the er
the 4 hours there they took x-rays
and nothing was broken
but i could not put weight on it any more
so i got a brace for the knee
a get out of jail free pass... i mean get out of work free pass
and crutches
and now im home
with my brace on
my fore head is better
my knee is slowly comming back to normal shape
it looks like i have a black and blue base ball on the inside of it
it hurts to sleep with it
it hurts to move iwth it
it hurts all the time

monday i go to the docs to see if i tore anything
and to tell you the truth i am really worried about it
what if i did
what about work
they arnt happy im not able to work now
and what if i really did something bad to it and i cant go back to work?

also can i ride again
can i dive any more
can i rock climb again
can i go on extended hikes again
can i go skiing again
what if it is really fucked up?
sigh
well that is a good lesson iguess learned the hard way
sigh

well i will keep you up dated i guess
squid out
here are some pics i guess

Time to be Crule

ok here comes a kinda mean streak

good after noon all
squid here

so last weekend was not as fun as i wanted it to be as you read.

but there was some times where we did get alittle crazy
get back together alot of shipping buddies
at the friends house who drinks all the time
and what did we do
drink... drink and well pass the fuck out

so this is day one
we say our friend
then went home and drank, i finished a bottle of yager, and a 12 pack
i was drunk
i went to bed in the study and my buddy tony was all ready passed out on the floor, i crawled in to the sleeping bag and passed out with my head in the door way and my head half on and half off a kitchen floor.
woke up an hour later, i went to sleep at 0430, by my other frind kicking tony
they wanted to leave
so i said skooooooorr i got a pillow now and the room to my self, no more kitchen floor for my head, as i pealed my face off the linolium.

then i woke up at 1000, my head was almost in a cat box, and i noticed that my jeans where next to me out of the sleeping bag
now i went to bed with my jeans on... and my head was nowhere near a cat box. so hummmmmmmmmmm '

anyways
his down stairs neighbor woke my ass up so i crawled out of the bag, put my jeans back on and went in to the living room, pulled my friend off the couch to get him up and then walked to thehead to take a leak... i know nice guy hua

then i sat down on the sub woofer and leaned against the wall to try and pull my self together

then i noticed that his neighbor had no pants on, just a shirt and underwear,

so i was like.... why dont you have pants on, and my friend said that happens alot, she just comes up and hangs out, with no pants on

so i kinda started to make a deal out of it, just kept on remarking about it, its not like she was that good looking!!!!!

finally she was like

neighbor "god damn, im wearing undies"
squid "yeah, well you still have no pants"
neighbor "well its the same if i was in a swim suit"
squid "yeah i guess... for get it i will be nice"
neighbor "nice?? what do you mean nice."
squid "for get it, im still drunk, and hungover, and i dont fell like being mean"
neighbor "mean... ok bring it on.. lets see how you can do"
squid "no"
neighbor "come on i wont cry"
pat "haha come on lets see her cry"
Neighbor "i bet he has nothing"
Squid "fine you asked for it"
neighbor "bring it"
squid "its not the fact that you are half naked, its the fact that i can see so much cottage cheese that its making me sick.... pat where are the crackers, i found the dip...."
neighbor"................................."
pat "hahahahahahahahahahahahahah holy shit, i didnt think you still had it in you"
keith "that was bad... hahaha"
neighbor ".............................."

then she grabed a blanket and covered up

Meet Squid All Sumed Up

Engineer Characteristics

Understanding Engineers - Take One - Two engineering students were crossing the campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?" The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want." The first engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

Understanding Engineers - Take Two - To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Understanding Engineers - Take Three - A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!" The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!" The pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him." "Hi George! Say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?" The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime." The group was silent for a moment. The pastor said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight." The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them." The engineer said, "Why can't these guys play at night?"

Understanding Engineers - Take Four - What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers? Mechanical Engineers build weapons and Civil Engineers build targets.

Understanding Engineers - Take Five - The graduate with a Science degree asks, "Why does it work?" The graduate with an Engineering degree asks, "How does it work?" The graduate with an Accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?" The graduate with an Arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"

Understanding Engineers - Take Six - Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints." Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections." The last one said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"

Understanding Engineers - Take Seven - "Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Engineers believe that "if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet"

Understanding Engineers - Take Eight - An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress. The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there. The engineer said, "I like both." "Both?" "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the lab and get some work done."



Understanding Engineers - Take Nine - An engineer was crossing a road one-day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want." Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, and that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."
